Installing the Device

CAUTION!

Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device. Before installing the device in a rack,

make sure of the following:

• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware the operating ambient

temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient temperature of the room. Make sure the

rack is installed in a suitable environment that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature

generated by the rack.

• Make sure each device in the rack is separated by at least one rack-unit of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in),

to promote convectional airflow. Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will

result in a reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment

mounted in the rack space.

• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified by the rack

manufacturer.

• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and power supply ratings

specified by the rack manufacturer.

• Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection. Pay particular

attention to power supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. power

strips).

To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:

Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed.
